The Corralitas Red Car Property was a private right-of-way through Silver Lake (Los Angeles) for the Pacific Electric interurban streetcar. The “Big Red Cars” ran until 1955 when the Glendale Line was decommissioned for freeway construction. For almost 40 years, a series of developers tried and failed to develop the Corralitas Red Car Property. It's not a park, it just looks like one.

Photo: Red Car Property Neighbor, October 31, 2013. A Riverside Place neighbor cleared out some landscaping and dumped it behind their fence on the Red Car Property in early October. (Click on photo to enlarge.)It's one thing to give neighbors an opportunity to scavenge usable succulents; it's another to leave it there, adding to the mess for weeks, right across from the "broken window" trailers overflowing with debris from the house on Lake View. Have some respect for your neighbors. Haul it away. Leaving it there only encourages more people to dump more crap here. The dry brush and tree branches are a fire hazard.
